Guarani Aquifer System – The Strategical Water Source In South America
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Guarani Aquifer System (SAG) is the formal denomination for a transboundary aquifer underlying four countries (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) in South America. Due to its strategic importance, a joint research project aiming for sustainable management and preservation of the aquifer was initiated by the four neighbour countries together. In this work, an overview of hydro-geological characteristics as well as basic information on availability, quality and management efforts are presented.

Vegetation coverage in hydrographic basins in the central region of the State of São Paulo, Brazil.
Vegetation coverage can be inappropriately used, especially in the absence of proper planning, and can result in a reduction of the occupied area. Demographic and economic alterations are factors that contribute to the degradation of vegetation coverage in landscape units. In addition, because vegetation is essential for protection of recharge areas in aquifers, the fragmentation of habitats in...
متن کاملElevated naturally occurring arsenic in a semiarid oxidizing system, Southern High Plains aquifer, Texas, USA
High groundwater As concentrations in oxidizing systems are generally associated with As adsorption onto hydrous metal (Al, Fe or Mn) oxides and mobilization with increased pH. The objective of this study was to evaluate the distribution, sources and mobilization mechanisms of As in the Southern High Plains (SHP) aquifer, Texas, relative to those in other semiarid, oxidizing systems. Elevated g...
